I know that I made a bit of a fuss yesterday on my personal blog about the price of Snow Leopard being just under 45% higher in the EU then in the US. But let’s get real. This is going to effect almost nobody’s buying decision. Specially those of you who LIVE in the US. So I thought that I would link to a few different ways that you can save yourself some moolah when buying. (Sorry to those who don’t live in the US. The UK version of Amazon doesn’t seem to be listing any savings.)

First way I found was through Amazon. They are selling it for $24.99 which is a fairly tiny saving, but a saving none the less. The folks at MacMall are also selling it for that price.

The Snow Leopard Family Pack is also reduced in price on both Amazon and MacMall, down too $43.99.

If the Mac Box is what you are after, Amazon and MacMall will do you a deal on that as well! Save a round $20 by clicking the links!

One interesting point to note is that it was not Amazon, but MacMall who instigated these savings. Amazon just matched the price. But are these rather insignificant savings enough to stop you from just walking down to the local shop and purchasing a copy yourself? I know that I will!

If you have any other places to get Snow Leopard on the cheap, link to them in the comments!
